The 69th Prime Time Emmy Awards went down yesterday at the Microsoft Theatre on September 17, 2017 in Los Angeles, California.

Several of our fave celeb moms we’ve featured on the blog before and whose red carpet style we’ve admired showed out again.

Several were nominated like Padma Lakshmi‘s show Top Chef, Anna Chlumsky for her role in Veep, Thandie Newton for Westworld, Regina King for American Crime, Heidi Klum forProject Runway, Julie Bowen and Sofia Vergara for Modern Family.

The 2016 Golden Globes brought out the glamour and glitz as the Hollywood Foreign Press Association set out to honor the top talent in film and television at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, California, on Sunday, January 10.

As usual, we highlight the celeb moms we’ve covered in the past who we spotted receiving and presenting awards and shining on the red carpet during arrivals.

A fave of ours, Tarji P. Henson, won her first Golden Globes for her supporting role as Cookie Lyons in the hit FOX dramaEmpireand another past feature Kate Winslet took home the Best Supporting Actress award for her role in the movie Steve Jobs.

Viola Davispresented and was up for a win for Best Actress in a TV drama as was Regina King who had a nod for her role inAmerican Crime. Davis lost to Henson and King lost to the upset of the night, Lady Gaga for her role in American Horror Story: Hotel.

Viola Davis‘ daughter Genesis Tennon decided for Halloween to dress as her mom accepting her Emmy Award this year for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama for her role as Annalise Keating on How to Get Away With Murder.

“So…..the Elsa costume? Didn’t work for her,” Davis wrote on Facebook on Saturday. “The Pirate? A no go. So she finally said, ‘I just want to be YOU mommy’! So… uhh…..this is ME.”

So adorbs and inspiring! When the film actress nabbed the award, she became the first African American woman in history to collect the honor. Wow, right? It’s 2015.

Davis is also a hero for the natural hair movement among Afro-wearing population of women and young girls across the African diaspora.

I’m included! About a month ago, I wrote a post in my hair blog about being Viola Davis which ended with me saying that the next person who asks me what’s going on with my hair when they see it worn out in its natural state, that I am going as Viola! Glad I’m in good company with those motivated by Davis.

And how about something about deep chocolate skin, a svelte body and striking and stunning beautiful facial features allow certain women the flexibility of pulling off so many colorful looks and styles.

A Bellyitch Favorite mom Viola Davis is set to star in the film adaptation of the book Beautiful Creatures from Warner Brothers Pictures.

Beautiful Creatures is a supernatural love story about two star-crossed lovers: Ethan, played by Alden Ehrenreich, a young man longing to escape his small town, and Lena, played by newcomer Alice Englert, a mysterious new girl. Together, they uncover dark secrets about their respective families, their history and their town.

Academy-Award nominated director of The Fisher King Richard LaGravanese directs the book, which is a best-selling series from authors Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl.

he film is a powerful story inspired by true events of parenthood,
friendship, hope and courage, Gyllenhaal and Davis portray
determined mothers, who will stop at nothing to transform their
children’s failing inner city school. Facing a powerful and entrenched
bureaucracy and a system mired in traditional thinking, they risk
everything to make a difference in the education and future of their
children.

The
character “Jamie” played by Maggie Gyllenhaal reminded me so much of
myself: the determination of a young mother fighting for her child to
receive the best education. I was in tears watching because it brought
back memories of myself running around, making phone calls and driving to
the Board of Education just so my daughter can stay in her current
elementary school where she is achieving.

“Won’t
back down” is a great movie. I laughed and cried almost throughout the
entire film. It was very inspirational and the lesson I took from the movie
is that if you want change or anything in life, ho matter how many times
someone tells you “no” is to not give up. Fight for what you want and
don’t back down.

Academy Award-nominee and new adoptive momViola Davis didn’t take home an Oscar last night for her leading role in The Help, but she did take home the adoration and love of many women, especially African American women, who adored the fact that she opted to go natural on the red carpet.

The Bellyitch fave wowed viewers with her fiery auburn dyed short fro which complemented her striking features, knock-out body and gorgeous Vera Wang gown. As per usual, the break-away star showed off her chiseled arms and shoulders, evidence of hours of time spent in the gym, obviously.

The entire look totally inspired many women who struggle with the decision on whether to go chemical-free and ditch their hair processors and relaxers.

It reminded me of the new MotionsNaturally You campaign that someone recently told me about. It kicked off during African American history month with a contest for girls. The Motions Salon Haircare is searching for 3 girls with natural style to introduce this new line. Enter HERE.
